[Zizhi Tongjian vernacular]
At first, when Cao Shuang left the city, Sima Luzhi stayed in the palace, and after hearing that there was a disturbance, he led the cavalry of the military camp to cut open the Jinmen gate and went out of the city to join Cao Shuang. When Cao Shuang was about to go out and hand over his official seal, Yang Zong, the master bookkeeper, persuaded him: "You hold the Son of Heaven in your hands and the military power, so why should you abandon these things and go to the execution ground?" The relevant departments announced that They wanted to arrest Lu Zhi and Yang Zongzhi, and Sima Yi said: "They are also their own masters, forgive them." Soon, Lu Zhi was appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng and Yang Zong as Shang Shulang.
When Lu Zhi was about to leave the city, he called for Xin Chang to join the army. Xin Chang was the son of Xin Bi, and his sister Xin Xianying was the wife of Taichang Yang. Xin Chang consulted with his sister and said, "The Son of Heaven is outside, Taifu has closed the city gates, and everyone says that this will be detrimental to the country. The sister said, "In my opinion, TaiFu's move is just an attempt to kill Cao Shuang." Xin Chang said: "Then things can be successful?" Xian Ying said, "I'm afraid it will succeed!" Cao Shuang's talent is not too Fu opponent! Xin Chang said, "Then I don't have to go out of the city?" The sister said, "How can you not go out?" Loyalty to one's duties is the great righteousness of man. Strangers are in distress and still need help, let alone your boss? It's like suddenly giving up on someone with a whip, and there's nothing more sinister than that. However, ordinary people only do their duty, and private cronies will sacrifice for him, you just have to go with the flow. ”
So Xin Chang followed out of the city. After things settle down. Xin Chang sighed and said, "If I hadn't consulted with my sister first, I would have almost deviated from The Great Righteousness." ”
Earlier, Cao Shuang summoned Wang Shen and the Taishan man Yang Hu as officials, and Wang Shen persuaded Yang Hu to answer the call. Yang Hu said, "It is not easy to commit yourself to serving others!" As a result, Wang Shen went alone. When Cao Shuang failed, Wang Shen was dismissed from office because he was Cao Shuang's original subordinate, so he said to Yang Hu, "I will never forget what you said before." Yang Hu said, "Today's result is not what I can think of!" ”
Xiahou Lingnu, the wife of Cao Shuang's cousin Cao Wenshu, was widowed and childless in her early years, and her father Xiahou Wenning wanted her to remarry, and Xiahou Lingnu cut off her ears with a knife to show that she would not marry, and often relied on Cao Shuang for her daily life. After Cao Shuang was reprimanded, the Xiahou family wrote to break off the marriage contract and forcibly took Xiahou Ling's daughter home, and would let her remarry again. Xiahou Lingnu quietly entered the bedroom and cut off her nose with a knife. The family was very shocked and sorry, and said to her: "Life in the world, like a speck of dust on the grass, why are you so bitter yourself!" And your husband's family has been exterminated, for whom are you a widow? Xiahou Lingnu replied, "I have heard that benevolent people do not change their discipline because of prosperity and decline, and righteous people do not change their minds because of survival." When the Cao family was prosperous before, I still wanted to keep the festival for the rest of my life, not to mention that now that it is in decline, how can I bear to abandon it? This is the act of an animal, how can I do it! ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he admired her virtuousness and did not interfere with his adoption of children as a descendant of the Cao clan.

After the change of Gao Pingling, what kind of fate would some officials in Cao Shuang's camp face? Cao Shuang's brothers and closest confidants, He Yan, Deng Biao, Ding Mi, Bi Rail, Li Sheng, and Huan Fan, were all exterminated. There are also some people who are not Cao Shuang's sworn enemies, but because they are officials in the imperial court, they also involve the issue of taking sides.
Sima Luzhi, Yang Zong, the chief bookkeeper, and Yang Zong, who joined the army, were not prosecuted, and Lu Zhi and Yang Zong were soon reused. Sima Yi's move was to appease people's hearts, and he wanted Cao Shuang's old subordinates to know that he did not regard those loyal to Cao Shuang as enemies, but only punished the ringleaders. Sima Yi knew that blindly killing indiscriminately would only lead to panic among the people in the DPRK, and even some people would take risks and rebel. For him, at present, when he is already in control of the situation, he tries to maintain the stability of the government and the opposition.
The change of Gaopingling involved two strange women.
One is the daughter of Xiahou Ling in the Xiahou family.
Reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we must have been impressed by Xiahou Huan, who was shot in the eye with an arrow. With a loud roar, he pulled out an arrow: "Eyes are given by the blood of the father and mother, how can they be discarded!" After saying that, he swallowed his eyes, and he was fierce. It turned out that this Xiahou family had the genes of a strong and fierce personality, and this was not, Xiahou Lingnu, the daughter-in-law of the old Cao family, cut off her ears and nose in order to keep her chastity, and was so cruel to herself! A woman, for the sake of marital autonomy, has to pay such a terrible price!
Xiahou Lingnu used her indomitable Zhende in exchange for her adopting her son as a descendant of the Cao family, so that the Cao Shuang family, which was destroyed by Sima Yi, also had a successor.
Later generations praised Xiahou Lingnu, and Chen Pu, a famous theorist of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem: "The princes competed to destroy YiLun, and set up a female body at that time." Paying all the light dust and perching the weak grass, no one was cut off from the beginning. The Ming Dynasty historian Li Yan also said, "Xiahou Nu resigned from her father to take the festival, and said with this fierce word." Unexpectedly there was this strange woman that day also. ”
The other was Xin Xianying, a talented woman of extraordinary wisdom during the Wei and Jin dynasties.
Xin Xianying was the daughter of Xin Bi of the Servant, the wife of Wei Wei Yang Tan, and the uncle of the famous General Yang Hu (already mentioned above) during the Wei and Jin dynasties.
For Xin Xianying, we are no strangers. Earlier, when Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were vying for the position of the son of the world, Cao Pi was very happy, and he hugged the neck of Xin Bi (Xin Xianying's father) and said, "Do you know how happy I am?" At that time, Xin Xianying, who was in his twenties, sighed and said: "The prince is a figure who takes the place of the king to preside over the temple sheji." The acting king could not act without worrying, nor could he preside over the affairs of the country without maintaining a wary heart, and he could show such joy when he should be worried, how could the State of Wei prosper for a long time? She actually said a word, predicting the short life of the Cao Wei regime.
In the change of Gao Pingling, her analysis of the situation was extremely accurate, and the coping method handed over to her younger brother Xin Chang was also very wise: you should fulfill the great righteousness (as a subordinate of Cao Shuang, you cannot be a deserter), but if you do not show the mountains and do not show the water, follow the current, sima Yi will not pursue the behavior of the post. Afterwards, the younger brother Xin Chang not only maintained the reputation of "loyalty to the position", but also kept his personal safety.
Xin Xianying's accurate prediction of major events is not only the above two. Later, when Sima Zhao was in power, Zhong Hui served as the general of Zhenxi, and Xin Xianying predicted that Zhong would rebel. Zhong Hui wanted to recruit Xin Xianying's son Yang Xiao to join the army, but Yang Xuan's resignation was not allowed, so Xin Xianying told his son Yang Xuan to be careful. After Zhong Hui and Deng Ai destroyed Shu, they developed a disobedient heart and colluded with the Shu general Jiang Wei to rebel. And Yang Xuan obeyed his mother's teachings and had already taken precautions, so he escaped this disaster and saved himself.
In the historical era of Wei and Jin, the status of women was very low, and the sources of information were limited, and Xin Xianying, a female stream, was able to accurately predict the three major events in the political situation, and she was definitely a godman. From this point of view, the wise men and women are divided, first Zhuge Liang knew the three points of the world before he was born, and then Xin Xianying did not come out of the deep to predict the return of the three kingdoms to Jin. People call Xin Xianying a female version of Zhuge Liang, and she deserves it!
